VOLVO T400 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Volvo T400 features a Perkins D913 diesel engine, delivering 47hp at 2250 RPM with a robust torque of 121 lb-ft at 1350 RPM, providing adequate power for medium-duty tasks such as tilling or hauling in agricultural applications. Its liquid-cooled system and 18.5:1 compression ratio contribute to efficient thermal management and fuel economy, but maintenance of the cooling and oil systems is crucial due to the limited capacities (6.0L oil and 8.0L coolant). The 3-cylinder configuration may present limitations in heavier pulling scenarios compared to larger engines; however, it offers benefits in maneuverability and lower fuel consumption for light to moderate tasks.

TRANSMISSION
The Volvo T400 tractor features an 8 forward and 2 reverse gear configuration using a split-range design, which enhances flexibility for various terrains and tasks. With a notable oil capacity of 44.4 quarts (42.0 liters), it promotes effective lubrication and cooling, contributing to prolonged engine life. While the dual-range capability is advantageous for both speed and torque requirements, it may introduce complexity in operation for less experienced users.

VOLVO T400 TIRES
The Volvo T400 tractor features an Ag front tire size of 12.4/11-36, which provides good flotation and minimizes soil compaction, enhancing traction on soft surfaces. The Ag rear tire options include 12.4/11-32 and 14.9/13-28, offering flexibility for varying load capacities and terrain conditions. Consider the tire dimensions and types to optimize performance and efficiency based on specific agricultural tasks—larger tires may provide better stability but can reduce maneuverability in tight spaces.
